Starting a Project

- To start building a new app, click New Project. This starts the New Project wizard, which helps you set up a project using an app template.
- To import an existing Android app project, click Import Project. Note: If you previously developed your Android project with Eclipse, you should first use the new export feature in the ADT plugin to prepare your project with the new Gradle build system. For more information, read Migrating from Eclipse.
As you continue developing apps, you may need to install additional versions of Android for the emulator and other packages such as the Android Support Library. To install more packages, use the SDK Manager, which you can open from Android Studio by clicking SDK Manager in the toolbar.
